4.During the entire measurement procedure, the distance between the patient's feet must
remain constant.
5.At least 4 marks should be made with a white make-up pencil on each measured area, usually
front, back and both sides, while the patient is rotating.
6.A measuring tape should be placed across all marks which were made in each anatomical
area, creating a straight and horizontal continuous line between them (see Figure 22 [C]).
7.The measurements and the distance from the floor should be recorded in the patient folder,
for identical positioning in subsequent measurements.
8.When measuring the arm circumference, indicate the distance from the wall and always
measure at the same distance while the arm is perpendicular to a wall (see Figure 22 [D]).
Treatment Procedure
• Always inspect the applicator for cleanliness and integrity. Make sure that there are no cracks
or other damage to any of the applicator's components.
• Select the treatment parameters as suggested in the Treatment Parameters section (see page
49). Always consider the patient's skin response and tolerance.
• Select and mark the treatment area while the patient is standing:
-
Vsmooth Applicator: The treatment area is anatomical (i.e. front thigh/back
thigh/abdomen/one buttock, etc.). Divide the area into strips; dimensions of each strip:
width of the applicator (the distance between the electrodes) and the length of ~30 cm
(~12 inches).
-
Vcontour Applicator: the area dimensions will be ~10 x 15 cm (~4 x 6 inches), or that of
the palm of a large hand.
• It is essential to use VelaSpray Ease lotion, (not gel, and not any other product) for optimal
coupling and RF conductivity. Moisten the treatment area with VelaSpray Ease lotion and rub it
well into the skin using massage movements with gloved hands. Ensure that a thin layer of
lotion (~1 mm) remains on the skin. Replenish the lotion only if it becomes difficult to glide the
applicator over the treated area and when the skin appears dry, or when the IR and RF
indicators blink continuously.
• Always test a small area with the selected parameters, and wait a few minutes to detect results
of the tested area before proceeding with the treatment of the whole area.
• Orient the applicator perpendicular to the treatment area and apply minimal pressure, just
enough for complete contact with the skin. When pressing the applicator's trigger the skin will be
suctioned into the applicator's chamber by the vacuum. If you hear air being sucked into the
applicator chamber, this indicates that the applicator is not positioned properly on the skin. If
adequate coupling between the RF electrodes and the skin is not achieved, the RF and IR will
be disabled and their indicator lights on the operator panel will blink.
